Mental Health Services offers personal counseling to provide a
confidential, safe place where you can work on your concerns and we
can help you deal with whatever’s getting in the way of living your
life in the most fulfilling way.

Misconceptions

Some people mistakenly assume there must be something “wrong” with
them in order to seek counseling. Talking with a personal counselor
does not mean that you have serious psychological problems – it just
means that you would like to talk to someone (besides your friend,
partner, or parents) about what’s going on in your life.

Examples of Issues

Students bring a broad range of issues they would like to work on, including:

There is no fee for any student currently enrolled in a credit class.
However, you must call to cancel any appointment you are not able to
make – no-shows count against your total visits, and can result in
denial of services.

Services

Assessment of current situation may include counseling or
referrals to community services for longer-term work.

Short-term individual and couple’s counseling

Support
groups dealing with a wide range of issues -- call early in the

All of our services are confidential. This means that we need
your permission to speak with anyone outside the clinic about you. We
cannot even tell anyone that you get services here. In certain
exceptional circumstances, we are required by law to break
confidentiality, such as: suspected child or elder abuse, danger to
self or threats against others, or if a court has issued a subpoena
for information.
